Rising Sea Levels in the UK
South and eastern Britain is slowly sinking as the north and west rises through loss of the weight of the glaciers from the last Ice Age. Combined with global rising sea levels caused by melting polar ice caps the risk of flooding by the sea is increasing dramatically. It is impossible to protect the whole UK (or world?) with hard concrete defences. ...

CRU Information Sheet no. 13: Volcanoes and their effect on climate
North Pacific and large parts of the tropics direct evidence is limited. Fortunately, the material in the veils eventually falls to Earth and an excellent record is preserved on the ice caps of Greenland and Antarctica. We may not know where the eruption occurred but the frequency can be compared over several millennia ...

Global Warming and the Kyoto Protocol
Some areas may become much hotter and drier, while others actually experience colder weather. Other predicted effects of global warming include melting of the polar ice caps, flooding of coastlines, severe storms, changes in precipitation patterns, and widespread changes in the existing ecological balance. Current models predict a rise in global sea levels of 15-95 ...
